As the show has a long time to hit the television, HBO programming president Casey Bloys recently revealed that they might have plans to release more spin-offs throughout the time as they are looking towards other stories of George R.R. Martin’s World of Westeros.
Casey Bloys compared the franchise with the likes of Star Wars and Marvel and quoted,” Those are fantastic properties that are decades and decades old. I don’t know that it would get that big, but certainly, it is a great resource that we have and an amazing world. So I don’t think it’s just going to be the one for the rest of its life.”
Like this, we also saw HBO developing a pilot called “The Long Night,” as we mentioned above, which was set to star Naomi Watts in a time known as the Age of Heroes. Although the episode was shot, the makers decided to call off the show in October of 2019 and decided not to move in. Well, on the other side, House Of Dragon has been announced, and it’s definitely coming, so from this, we can say HBO has a lot in mind, and we are in a treat to see a lot coming.
